i know artists are putting out rebirth albums all the literal time lol idk though, finding out how upset some fans were at gerard for putting out such an artistically different album a year after my chem broke up because they saw it as a betrayal/selling out/deemed him fake etc just got me thinkin
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social)
gerard's debut (and so far, only) solo album "hesitant alien" came out september 29th, 2014; many fans felt betrayed and put off by the sonic/aesthetic/thematic departure from the gerard they knew taylor released her own full pop re-brand/"rebirth" named for her birth year on october 27, 2014

On this day in 2019, an iconic Taylor Swift quote was born in the BBC 1 Lounge: โI donโt think you should ever have to apologize for your excitementโฆThe worst kind of person is somebody who makes you feel bad, dumb, or stupid for being excited abut something.โ ๐

but i agree lol i think there's some gray area because we're talking about artists and literally anything an artist does with the intention of it being seen by an audience could be construed as possibly art. art is kind of indefinable, isn't it?

i think it seems to have become quite catch all term for "anything one of these new romantics-y people does in public" but i don't think it's necessarly the worst thing if it keeps people questioning the authenticity of every action and thinking harder/digging deeper/asking "why?"

if you're too embarrassed to resist a fake dictator, i'm not sure how you plan on resisting a real one. caring is cringe. the show that's a satire on political authoritarianism took away your right to democracy? and you're not even a little suspect that it was on purpose?
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
anyways that's all i got for my mcr fandom rant. people are really making others feel bad/dumb/stupid for wanting to do a fan project that shows resistance against the dictator because they like the status quo. that's fine.
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
especially when that show seems to desire your active participation? every time gerard asks people to hold up their lights, the vote cards existing in the first place... they WANT participation. there's a live actor there (almost) every night playing the dictator. is he just waiting for a cue? idk
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
and it'll continue to. because it's not about changing the outcome of the show, it's about showing opposition to the dictatorship that the show is being held under. and there's NO way of knowing that votes will be passed out again. why is it so embarrassing to want to be a participant in a show? +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
okay, i mean, maybe. or maybe they're making a point. also "gerard can't see that well and decides based off the colors"....... so it's a scripted show, but he's also making an actual decision based off the colors being held up? pretty sure the execution has taken place every single time +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
that this was an intentional story beat introduced with purpose is doing a disservice to mcr's storytelling ability. i proposed that people bring white pages so that if they don't get a vote, they have a way to vote. all anyone wanted to talk about was how it was an accident and not on purpose +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
was it a genuine mistake or was it a part of the story? we really won't know for another five days, so i think pondering on the fact that within the universe of the story and combined with all the other script and wardrobe changes that occurred at #mcrchicago to not at least entertain the idea +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
he doesn't have to be able to read a white piece of paper to see that it's a white piece of paper instead of the black/red that they have previously given out for the vote at the door. only, they didn't give out that vote until the very last minute before the show started at #mcrchicago +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
you either stand with this fictional dictator or against him. you either stand with the band who are now ASKING for your help or you stand idly by. the idea that gerard way couldn't think on the fly if he saw a bunch of pieces of white paper being held aloft instead of the red is... wild? +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
i'd simplify it even further and just say to bring a white piece of paper or whatever, it doesn't matter. anything visibly in opposition to the sea of red that is created by the YEA signs during the execution. you're a participant in the show whether you want to be or not, so choose a side +
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social)
more context to this cause i just..idk i'll be eager to see if i'm just entirely incorrect once #mcrboston happens, but this is the current hubbub in the mcr fandom. there's one fan project that made signs that say RESIST. not everyone thinks it's a good idea. i think it's kind of a great idea?

i've wondered before if maybe the end of the first american leg of the tour could have acted as the beginning (1989 being the birth of taylor swift) or if there was some point that was rounded partway through the legs of the sets that looped it back to the beginning (like "begin again" being played)
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
YES. i think a lot about long live being added and long live being taken away, i think about the loss of tis the damn season in eras v2, the two sets of shows where they played nothing new (east coast) and no body no crime (west coast)
violet ๐พ๐ค long live swemo (@peculiarviolet.bsky.social) reply parent
omg i totally agree. the entire tour seemed to follow a storyline both within each individual show but also on the whole AND within each set. the songs she removed for eras v2 and added for various shows and when she does that is so important to the story

ok got a question. you're going to a concert, the concept of the show is that the band you're seeing is living under a dictatorship and the show is a satire on authoritarianism. as a fan project, some fans decide to make "resist" signs for the show to hand out. is this a spoiler?
